It's a yes from Simon: The mogul revealed he is a fan of Britney's cleavage

Simon
was also asked what Britney's favourite curse word was, to which he
guessed 'c**k', but she said 'p***k', before he shouted: 'I was close! I
got the 'ck' so i should get two points for that.'

The interview began in more of a
polite fashion with the pop princess gushing about how she 'fell in
love' with Simon as he convinced her to join the US version of the show
alongside himself, and fellow panelists LA Reid and Demi Lovato.

She also revealed she considers the Syco boss a 'sweetheart'.

She said: 'I thought he was kind of rude [before I met him], that's
the idea he gives on the show.

'Then we talked on the phone and I thought
he was a total sweetheart, I fell in love with him.'

Simon, who appeared on the show beside her, chimed in: 'And so was she [a sweetheart].

'She was
absolutely charming! Sweet, humble and nice. Her reputation was
completely different, but I was very surprised.

'We had a kind of love
affair on the phone for a couple of days and eventually a
third conversation where Britney said she wanted to do the show, even though we
hadn't negotiated the contract.'

The pair were rather flirtatious with one another, after host Jimmy told Simon off for showing too much skin: 'We can see your navel! Why have buttons on a shirt if this is how you wear it?'

creation, with her extensions looking the best they have in years -
quipped: 'He's showing the chest hair!'
